Chapter Six
Three weeks have passed since Jim heard Miriam's message in his head. The few times they encounter each other since, Miriam would shake her head and say in his head, not yet. Jim was getting impatient. He had a bit of fear first, but it quickly disappeared as the days went by. He wanted to know what the woman wanted to talk about and it was eating at him.
Jim was done for the day and he decided to take a walk in the forest. Further and further Jim went into the forest. He felt at home here, for his mother raised him deeper in this very forest. Tall, thick trees blocked out most of the light, with their roots sticking out, tripping anything that didn't see them. This forest was his playground and training ground. His mother taught all he knew and what his purpose was for living.
A twig snapped and Jim quickly turned his head, cursing himself for being distracted. Jim relaxed slightly as he Miriam appear from the bushes. He noticed a few cuts and bruises on her face and arms and her wavy hair freed from its bindings. Jim raised his eyebrow. "What happened to you?" Miriam scowled. "That brat of a princess got into a tantrum. She wanted me sing her a lullaby and I was going to sing one from my land, but no, she wanted this one lullaby. I said no, because I don't know it. And just like that, she snapped." Jim was trying not to laugh but failed. "That's what you get for volunteering to the brat's servant." Then a rock hit him. "Hey!" "You wouldn't be laughing if you were trying to dodge a statue." Jim blinked. "A statue?" "Yes, a medium one, among other things. Dolls, books, hair accessories, shoes, even her favorite tea set. She threw whatever her hands could grab at me. Then the queen came in and held her brat. She ordered me away, which I was glad. Another minute or two, I would have wrung that skinny brat's neck. Then I saw you leaving into the forest so I thought it be best to talk to you now." "Yes. As entertaining your story was, I have been wondering why you want to talk me and what about." "I need your help for my revenge."
Many a pretty blooming
Young girl we did behold
Reclining on the bosom
Of her jolly sailor bold
My name it is Marina
A merchant's daughter fair
And I have left my parents
And three thousand pounds a year
Come all you pretty fair maids
Whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor
That plows the raging sea
My heart is pierced by cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing console me
But my jolly sailor bold
Queen Marina smiled at her sleeping daughter. She knew Melody loved hearing that old sea lullaby. Sadly, the servant did not know it and paid the price. Marina sighed. Her daughter can have quite the temper when she doesn't get what she wants.
Marina kissed her daughter and left. Closing the door, she felt strong arms warp around her waist and hot breath upon her neck. Marina shivered and whispered, "Sinbad." Sinbad chuckled huskily. "Hello my flower. Is our pretty blooming happy and asleep?" "Yes, she is." "Gooood." Sinbad whispered seductively. He pulled Marina closer to his body and started nibbling her neck. Marina laughed softly and sexily. "Sinbad, you're telling you want to make another child?" "Perhapsssss." Then Sinbad picked her up and ran to their chambers. He roughly pushed her onto the bed as they kissed each other feverishly. The night was filled with passion and lust.
"You need my help?" Mariam nodded. "Why should I help you get your revenge?" "Because I can help you with yours." Jim instantly tensed. "What do you know of my revenge?" Miriam shrugged. "Nothing really. I just know you're not here to be a servant. The other servants are blind but I can see. I see your eyes burning with hate as you stare at the royal family and each time they 'grace' us with their presence. I even know you tried to poison them at the brat's birthday." Jim stared at her, shocked. "How… How did you know?" "I was one of the two servants still working in the kitchen. When Aladdin and I were taking a break, he started rummaging through the others' stuff and bunks, looking for alcohol." Miriam shook her head. "That stupid addict. When he got to your bunk, he pulled forth a vile as he replaced with his sugar water. He went back to his bunk and drank it and was dead in five minutes or so. I then knew it was poison and I saw you come later for it and that it was meant for the royals as you poured the sugar water into the royals' cups." Jim blinked at her. "And you… Let him die?" Miriam nodded. "It was his own fault to get addicted to alcohol and thus his death." Jim smiled. He never knew another person to be cruel like him and his mother. Perhaps she could help him. "Alright Miriam, I'll help your revenge. But what is it, may I ask?" "Like you, I too have hate towards the royal family." "So our goals are one and the same." "Basically." "Very well. Miriam, we shall help each other get revenge." And Jim held out his hand and Miriam shook it.
Light blue eyes watched from the dark shadows of the trees, seeing her son and this girl make a pact. Perfect, this girl has much hate as my son. Together, they can bring down Sinbad and his kin. She saw them leaving and was about to do the same when she heard her name, "Sarah."
Sarah turned around and saw a dark skinned woman. Black hair pulled back into a thick ponytail, with two braids on each side of her face. A blue dress with a golden sash covered her body. Golden eyes looked over Sarah. "Strange to see you in this form." "You as well, Tzipporah. Or should I say Calypso." Tzipporah smiled. "Just Tzipporah. I haven't been called Calypso in hundreds of years since I was bonded to the earth in human form and grown used to my human name." "Yes, I heard about that. A pity that happened. I remembered your blue hair, flowing like the oceans and your skin pale as the moon, and passion that could surpassed Zeus." Tzipporah smiled. "It flatters me that you remembered what I looked like." Sarah ignored her comment and instead asked, "What brings you here Tzipporah?" "I came to check upon you. I care for you, you know." Sarah sighed. "Yes I know, but that was a long time ago." Sarah walked passed Tzipparoh before she grabbed her hand. "Why won't you come back to me? You know it was more than a fling, Eris." Sarah, or Eris, smiled, being called her goddess' name. "I know, but my revenge is more important than going back to an old love." Tzipporah sighed. "Oh Eris, my love." She grabbed Eris' hand and kissed it. "I understand your need for revenge, but continue down this path and you'll lose all your powers forever. I know what's come to be and it's not going to be good for you, so stop this revenge against this human and come with me." Eria laughed. "I understand your concern Tzipporah, but I'm not stopping my revenge. This human will get what he deserves and I'll get my powers back." With that, Eris walked back to her home in the forest. Tzipporah watched her go and spoke quietly in the darkness, "Then I'll watch you Eris and I'll be there when you fall."
